DJ is cooking pancakes for breakfast as Fernando comes downstairs
Fernando: Ooh! Pancakes!
Fernando took a pancake immediately and took a bite. He slowly turned his head to a mildly frustrated DJ
Fernando: What is the matter DJ? I am hungry and you have set one hundred perfectly crisp pancakes on the first table I see when I come down the stairs
DJ: The pancakes were supposed to wait until eight thirty for breakfast
Fernando: It is eight twenty. Close enough
DJ sighed and continued to cook a bunch of pancakes. Fernando then sat down at the counter to eat
Fernando: DJ, I need your serious help
DJ: Well sure, what is it?
Fernando: I need a new job, but I have no idea what else I could be good at. What I want is something fun that I am good at as a sort of side-job, so I can still work at Uncle Monty's, but I also can have a second passion
DJ: Well, here's some advice. Think about what you're good at, and if you could get a job near this area so you can still work at Uncle Monty's. Maybe you're "new passion" will be something that you didn't expect, or any of us
Fernando: Thank you DJ. I will search the Earth for another passion
In the living room, Max and Jimmy seemed to be watching a scary TV show. Jimmy looked horrified, but meanwhile Max, perched atop the couch, looked unfazed. Max looked down to Jimmy
Max: Jimmy, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, you're really pathetic
Jimmy: I get that a lot
Max: I know you do. You get it a lot from me
Jimmy: And a few other people
Max: But mostly me
Jimmy: yeah you got me there
Then, Max's phone buzzed. He looked at it. He looked happy
Max: Jimmy. I need you're help
Jimmy: Sure. What do you need?
Max: Rose is giving me a really cool pet, but I'm not sure my mom will be okay with it. Can you help me convince my mom?
Jimmy: Well, it depends, what is it?
Max: It's a Rhinoceros Hornbill
Jimmy: ...Okay, kid, I've heard of Hornbills because of your mom, but what is this "Rhinoceros Hornbill" you speak of? Is it a Rhino with wings!? If it is I want it!
Max: It isn't a Rhino with wings, it's a bird with a horn though, so close enough. They are really cool looking birds
Jimmy: If your mom says no, then I'll try to convince her
Max: Thanks Jimmy
Jimmy: Under one condition; we both get to decide on a name
Max: Deal
In the upstairs area, Ramona and Jackson both walk out of their rooms
Jackson: So Ramona, what's the bad news all about?
Ramona: The bad news is that we both got the lead roles in the play
Jackson: That doesn't seem so bad
Ramona: I don't know how to do the role that I was given. I have to sing loudly to the whole crowd
Jackson: I've sung loudly to a crowd before. Do I have to do that?
Ramona: Yes, but that's not the point. You also have to dance in front of the crowd, and I'm not sure I can sing well enough, and you're dancing is horrible
Jackson: Hey!
Ramona: No offense, but I mean, come on
Jackson: So the problem is we both get to do something we are confident in doing, but we also both have to do something that we aren't very good at, and since we both have a lead role, it's going to be very humiliating if we fail?
Ramona: Finally you got it
Jackson: Well, when is the play?
Ramona: ...Jackson, you auditioned for the play, you don't know when it is?
Jackson: No. I forgot
Ramona: ...Jackson the play is today
Jackson: I'm dead meat!
Jimmy and Max both walk into the kitchen to see DJ. They both look at each-other, Jimmy being pathetic and nervous, while Max just seems a little worried
Max: Mom?
DJ: Yes Max?
Max: Can I get a Rhinoceros Hornbill?
DJ: ...Max, I'm not necessarily a Hornbill person after a certain incident, and I'm not saying no, but I'm saying that Hornbills can be scary. Theoretically, everything with a mouth is scary, because if it has a mouth, it can bite
Jimmy: H-H-Hey Deej?
DJ: Jimmy? What's wrong with you?
Jimmy: I kinda need you to say yes because I made a deal with Max that I'd convince you to say yes and currently I can't think of any other reason we would want one, so can you please say yes?
DJ: ...Did me saying that Hornbills can be scary frighten you?
Jimmy: Y-Yeah
DJ: Well, Max, I will think about it. Where are you going to get this Hornbill anyways?
Max: Oh, Rose needs someone to give it to and she wants to give it to me
DJ: ...I'm sorry what?
Max: Yeah, makes you feel bad for possibly saying no, huh?
DJ: I said I will think about it. Oh, also, Jimmy, can you help Fernando find a new passion? He wants a job alongside working at Uncle Monty's so he's trying to find a "new passion" or something that he's good at and wants to do. And Max, if you want, you can help, too. Maybe it'll make me say yes
Max: If you say yes then I'm in
Jimmy: Ok. Where's Fernando?
DJ: Who knows. He just left while I had my back turned like he always does. He was eating a pancake with maple syrup on it, so you can just...I don't know, smell for maple syrup I guess
Jimmy: ...I'm sorry, but did you just pronounce it "May-pull-sear-up"? It is "sir-up" not "sear-up"
DJ: Whatever. Just go find Fernando
Jimmy: Yes ma'm
All of a sudden, a knock is at the door. Max and Jimmy go to get the door, and Rose is there with the Hornbill on her hand
Max: Hello Rose
Rose: Hey Max. Here's the Hornbill, assuming your mom said yes
Max: Oh, she did say yes
The Hornbill hopped onto Max's hand, and then he turned around. Jimmy looked paralyzed, horrified, and pathetic. Rose and Max looked at him disgustedly
Rose: Is he scared of the bird?
Max: Jimmy, what's wrong?
Jimmy: It looks like i-it's going to impale me...it's staring into my soul...it's blue eyes...it's come for me...
Max: Jimmy, it's horn is too weak to penetrate your skin. The beak could theoretically penetrate your skin if it really tried. And plus, what reason would it have to try and attack you? You didn't try to harm it
Jimmy: Oh...r-right...well Max, let's go find Fernando
Rose: You guys are looking for the funny Latino guy?
Max: Yeah
Rose: I saw him trying to ride someone's bike. He looked happier than usual, but then he crashed and then he skipped away shouting "What is my passion, god!?"
Max: Where did you see him go?
Rose: I think he just went behind your house. He's probably in your backyard
Max: Thanks Rose
In the backyard, all four of them are there. Max seems to have put on a falconry glove for the bird, Jimmy constantly stares at the bird, and Fernando is doing a cartwheel
Fernando: Why hello Jimmy and Max. I am trying to find my second passion. My only passion right now is Uncle Monty's sandwiches
Max: ...Dude, don't you have a wife, a daughter, parents, a family...you care about none of that?
Fernando: Before I answer that, that bird looks really cool. I feel like I've seen them before at the zoos. Fascinating...
Max: You like the bird?
Fernando: Yes I like the bird
Max: Maybe your passion is ornithology
Jimmy: Orni-what now?
Max: Orn
Jimmy: Orn
Max: Ith
Jimmy: Ith
Max: Ology
Jimmy: Ology
Max: Ornithology
Jimmy: Onrothologus
Max: Close enough. Ornithology is the study of birds
Fernando: Well, if I'm going into the study of birds, shouldn't it be more broad than birds? What if it's all animals?
Max: All animals?
Fernando: Yes, all animals
Max: You know, for some god forsaken reason, my moms pet clinic allows all animals. Maybe you could work there. And they're doing this new thing where they'll go to other peoples homes to take care of their animals
Fernando: I want to follow in the footsteps of Jesse Katsopolis
Max: You want to be an exterminator
Fernando: An exterminator but with more of a heart. An Animal Control Officer
Max: Maybe you could ask my mom if she would let you open up an animal control section to Harmon Fuller Pet Care
Fernando: Harmon Fuller Animal Control
Jimmy: I like this idea. Man Max, you're good at this whole inspiration thing
Max: I know. It's my job. I kinda have to have it, Jackson needs some help
Jimmy: Eh, fair
Max and Jimmy walk back in with Fernando and the bird. DJ sees that they have a bird and drops a fresh pancake
Jimmy: Before you say anything Deej, why are you making breakfast pancakes for eight thirty when school starts at eight thirty?
DJ: It's spring break doofus. What time is it?
Max: It's eight forty five. You're a bit late
DJ: Oh shoot. Ok. Hey, everybody come down here!!! I made breakfast pancakes!!!
Steve, Steph, Ramona, Jackson, Tommy, Kimmy, Jesse, Joey, Becky, and Danny all walk in to the kitchen. They all yell together "Ooh! Pancakes!" And each of them takes one and sits down to eat
DJ: Alright everyone, at nine o' clock today, if we're all finished by then, we will have a family meeting
Jimmy: Mmm! These are delicious
Jesse: Please make pancakes forever, and nothing else
Danny: You do make your pancakes the best
DJ: Thank you all, thank you
Later, at the family meeting. Everybody is sitting down but DJ, who stands up in front of them. Jimmy and the Hornbill are staring at each-other
DJ: Alright, so first of all, Max, when the heck did you get a Hornbill!?
Max: Rose came over, clearly earlier than you expected, and she gave it to me. Jimmy is horrified if it for some reason
Jimmy: It's always looking at me…
DJ: Jimmy, it's just observing you. It doesn't wanna kill you or anything. In fact, I think it might even like you. You seem to be giving it the most attention by constantly staring at it
Jimmy: Or it wants to suck out my soul
DJ: Ugh. Ok, anyways, Fernando, did you find out your new passion yet?
Fernando: Yes. DJ, may I please make an animal control department at Harmon Fuller Pet Care?
DJ: You want to do animal control?
Fernando: Yes
DJ: Well, how do you plan on having the system work
Fernando: An animal control officer catches an animal, we bring it to Harmon Fuller Pet Care to put it somewhere, if it's overnight then we'll make a new room, if it's during day then a vet will help to first check up on it and see if it's healthy, and then they'll find somewhere for it to live for the rest of its life
DJ: …Wow. I wasn't actually expecting you to have anything planned out. Anyways, Jackson and Ramona it's your turn, because I assume one of you has something
Ramona: Okay, so me and Jackson both got the two lead roles in the play, and-
DJ: Awwww. You're both going to be lovers
Jackson: Now now mom
DJ: Sorry. Continue
Ramona: …And we both have to dance and sing. The problem is, I don't know if I can sing, and I certainly can't do it in front of an audience as big as this one, and the other problem is that, while Jackson is capable of singing in front of an audience, his dancing is…
DJ: Oh yeah his dancing is horrible. But that's only when he's sick. I've never seen him dance whenever he isn't sick
Jackson: Because I've never danced apart from being sick
DJ: Well then you don't know if you'll be good or not. Guys, you have to try. This entire family is relying on you to make this play as enjoyable as possible, and I think it's going to be cute with you two as the lead role. Uh-but no pressure! But you must do well
Danny: Remember, when life gives you dilemmas, make dilemmonade
We cut to a while later. We can see that it's around the middle of the play. Music is playing and Jackson and Ramona are both dancing together. Suddenly, they begin to sing "Time of My Life" and we can clearly see their families making happy faces and suddenly, DJ gets a message on her phone
DJ: Fernando, we just got a call, someone found a black mamba on the streets and they called us. Can you go with Matt to take care of it?
Fernando: Why yes DJ. Just remember to record this so I can see it later
We see Fernando and Matt with intense leg gear and gear to catch the snake, a bucket and a stick to catch it. They look at eachother and then both walk into the abandoned house it was found in. They used a flashlight. The music is still playing. They spot it coiled up in a corner. Fernando uses the stick to catch it and he puts it in a bucket held by Matt. We get back to Ramona and Jackson dancing. They whispered to each-other
Jackson: Ramona, you're a great dancer
Ramona: Thanks Jackson. You too surprisingly
Jackson: Ramona, what's our next line?
Ramona and Jackson cleared their throats and got back into character as the music still played
Ramona: Freddy, you have truly given me the time of my life tonight. I have a present for you
Jackson: What is it, Tracy?
Ramona: Close your eyes
Jackson closed his eyes, and then Ramona kissed him on the lips. This was a love story, but the rest of the cast looked at them weirded out. No producers, directors, or anyone important saw, so they didn't get in trouble, that is, if they weren't supposed to do it. Ramona unlocked from Jackson's lips. She looked at him, smirked, and then did it again, this time for longer, wrapping her arms around him. They then stopped and continued the song
DJ: Did she just kiss Jackson? My Jackson?
Jimmy: Well, this is a love story. And a touching one at that
DJ: But…*sigh* I guess it's ok
We cut back to the house late at night. It's eleven fifty two, and Michelle is sitting on the couch. Suddenly, the rest of the family walks through the door
Michelle: Hey everybody. I got home too late for the play and…wait was that door just…open?
DJ: Yeah
Michelle: Are you telling me that the door is always open?
DJ: You got it dude
Michelle: Hey, that's my line
Michelle then got up and gestured that she wanted a hug
Michelle: Welp. Time for that hug that we always have
Everybody had a group hug together
Michelle: I also saw a video from DJ that Ramona and Jackson kissed for the play
Ramona: What's it to you?
Michelle: Nothing, it's just, it was cute. That's all
Suddenly, Fernando and Matt walk into the house
Matt: Uhh, Deej…am I interrupting something important?
DJ: No. What's up?
Matt: We got a black mamba back at the pet clinic. I'll be there tomorrow to find a new home for it
DJ: Oh that's good
Fernando: Now, DJ, could you please send me the video you took of the play?
DJ: Yeah sure
DJ pulled up her phone and sent something to Fernando. He then pulled out his phone and watched it. He was just smiling for a moment when he saw Ramona and Jackson kissed. Matt also saw it. Their jaws both dropped, then they looked at eachother, then they looked at Jackson and Ramona who stared at the two surprised men
Ramona: Don't worry papa, it was a part of the play
Danny: Hey, Fernando, when life gives you dilemmas…
Danny, DJ, Steph, Michelle, Jesse, Joey, Becky: Make Dilemmonade
Michelle: Now bring it all back in!
They all had a final group hug. For context, Michelle was there due to previous events, and she came over to the house for a Family Reunion party, but her flight back was delayed, so she had to stay for another week
